What’s a lightning voucher?
Azteco offers two kinds of bitcoin vouchers:
- a lightning voucher; and
- an on-chain voucher
An Azteco lightning voucher uses the Bitcoin Lightning Network to transfer your bitcoin.
- Lightning transactions are completed in a few seconds and network processing fees are typically less than a few cents.
- Lightning transactions are quicker and less expensive than on-chain transactions. However, not all bitcoin wallets support lightning today. See our list of suggested bitcoin wallets for more details.
To redeem an Azteco lightning voucher, you need to:
- Launch your bitcoin wallet app
- Select “Receive” to scan a QR code.
- Scan the QR code on your voucher to receive your bitcoin.
